Exhaust Temperature Calculator
Estimate your vehicle’s exhaust gas temperature based on engine parameters, fuel type, and operating conditions. Understand how different factors affect EGT for optimal engine performance.
Step 1: Engine Parameters
Understanding Exhaust Temperature
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) is a critical parameter for engine health and performance. High EGT can indicate lean conditions, excessive load, or timing issues that may damage engine components.
Step 2: Additional Options
Safe EGT Ranges
For gasoline engines, safe EGT typically ranges from 700-950°C (1300-1750°F) under full load. Diesel engines can tolerate higher temperatures (up to 650-750°C or 1200-1380°F). Consistently exceeding these limits can cause damage to valves, pistons, and turbochargers.

Temperature Breakdown
Temperature Calculation Formula
EGT = Base Temp + (Load Factor × Load %) + (AFR Adjustment) + (Boost Adjustment)
The calculation considers multiple factors: base exhaust temperature increases with engine load, varies by fuel type, and is affected by air-fuel ratio and forced induction. Each component contributes to the final exhaust gas temperature.
